- Michael Avenatti
- John Kasich
- Kanye West
Business is like a child. If that business failed the business owner has to learn how to be a better business. Did Sam Walton go seek help when he hit a bad spot? No!

Bernie isn’t ideal, but he is better than the others on the list. And I assumed this was about the General election. Bernie would still have a tough time winning the Primary. And unfortunately in our system the types of people most likely to win general elections aren’t necessarily the types of people most likely to win primaries. That is how we ended up with the two least popular candidates in US history in our last presidential general election.
The GOP needs to run a good primary candidate against captain dip****, someone who can wrestle the nomination away.

I didn't see your choice.
I won't vote for Trump, so I'm none of the above.
I think Biden's and Sanders's age will be a serious deterrent to them winning the nomination in 2020. Kasich I'd vote for. Booker and Harris I really don't know enough about yet but I'm really hesitant to vote for a "big city" liberal, but of course if it was against Trump or Pence yeah no brainer.
I'm holding out hope our governor will be a black horse in the race, but the "big city" liberals will almost assuredly balk at a democratic governor from a "hick" state.
His positions and consistency are better than anyone else on the list. That is inarguable. However, I see a problem with your logic. The Republican party opted for the candidate that won the right wing purity test (trump), while Democrats opted for the candidate that represented stability, continuity and White House experience. Normally, you could argue that the Primary is about ideological purity contests, but that only happened on one side here. That said: if the DNC had better gauged the populist sentiment of the nation they may very well have pushed in a different direction. In other words, hindsight has 20/20 vision.
My problem with Sanders is that I'm genuinely concerned he's physically too old. I just don't see how somebody of that age could handle the rigors of the White House. One term? Possibly. Two terms? I just don't see it.
Unless some serious **** comes out of the Mueller investigation and people believe it, IMO the nomination is Trump's again if he chooses to run.
Goofy Bernie is already showing signs of losing it. He never was a credible candidate in the first place-rather being compared to Hillary made him look better than he actually is.
It's funny that you say this, because that's the only reason why Trump is president. The Reality T.V. Star was never a credible candidate to begin with, and only won the general election because Hillary made him look better than he actually is. Well there may be other factors as well, but I'll wait until the investigation finishes to comment on that...
Not sure yet. I like Kasich, but I can't support today's GOP in it's current state. It could potentially be years before I ever take that political party seriously again. The Dems are hardly any better, in fact the only reason why they are even any better is because the GOP led by Donald Trump is so mind numbingly awful in every aspect.

I think its disgusting that there are Americans who think socialism is a worthwhile system in this nation. Goofy Bernie gets rich off of useful fools who blame their failures in life on "capitalism", "the rich" or "corporations"
I'd say I'm pretty damn successful in life and I think that the social democracy, not socialism (there's a big difference to anyone not willfully disingenuous/ignorant of their basic definitions), that Bernie represents and champions is indeed a worthwhile system as has been proven the developed world over.
Meanwhile Bernie is basically dirt poor as senators go (not that having wealth in any way precludes you from criticizing egregious economic inequality and the corrupting influence of money in politics as he does), and doesn't appear to have in any way gotten rich off of his supporters.
no one else owes you anything. that is my view. and the constitution doesn't properly permit the government (federal) to take wealth from some to buy the votes of others. any welfare should be state based which has a most effective check upon it
'That's fine; I don't mind a plurality of views on the organization and formation of society.
However, I do note that the federal government does indeed have the constitutional authority to levy taxation and regulation of interstate commerce.
In Bernie's case, I very much doubt that his ideas are tantamount to a cynical bribery scheme to achieve political power for its own sake and his personal benefit, or 'taking wealth of some to buy the votes of others' as you put it; I think he truly believes that what he would like to do is in the best interests of the greatest number of Americans, and I generally agree with him again per the first hand experience of so many other developed countries. I think excess concentrations of wealth are toxic economically, socially and politically, and to date there appears to be plenty of confirmation.
I would like to see the integrity of our democracy restored from the plutocracy it's devolved to since the mid 70s; equality of opportunity ensured for all Americans, and the median and averaged standard of living in America increased to surpass all other countries as it should, rather than being a pathetic, glaring laggard to that of European nations so the wealthiest fraction of a percent can continue to overwhelmingly dictate public policy, and accumulate and sequester away from the economy orders of magnitude more wealth than they'll ever need or even spend.

I don't agree with much of this but it was a well written and argued post so I liked it. good job
There are two sides of the same choice before us.no one else owes you anything. that is my view. and the constitution doesn't properly permit the government (federal) to take wealth from some to buy the votes of others. any welfare should be state based which has a most effective check upon it
what exactly has Trump done that objectively harms you?
Turtle - seriously? You asked that question of another poster?
What did Hillary Clinton do that objectively harmed you? Or Barack Obama? Or any number of people I've seen you have disdain for over the years?
Puigb is right. Trump is mind numbingly awful. Just because his inner Democrat and decades long opposition to guns (and i know you knew about this) hasn't manifested itself - yet - doesn't mean he's a good President.
